INTRODUCTION
Another tale of "Fat Magic" and benign witchery: with a not-so-subtle message imbedded in the story. If there's a recurrent theme to my stories it's that staying in the closet is deadening to both fat admirers and fat admired. It's clearly at the root of this story.
The spiffy graphics for this tale were contributed by BeakerFA, an artist whose work provided inspiration for my earlier story "Hunger." I sent Beaker an early draft of this story, and he responded with the delightful images you'll see here - meeting my not-entirely-reasonably holiday deadline in the process. I'm especially enamored of the "before" and "after" pictures of our heroine, of course.
Many thanks, Beak!
